3. DESIGN AND EXPERIMENT OF SELF-PROPELLED SYSTEM FOR PADDY FIELD WEEDER BASED ON THE INTERACTION MECHANISM OF WHEEL-SOIL
ABSTRACT Aiming at the low mechanization of paddy field weeding and lack of dedicated agricultural machinery for paddy field weeding in China, a self-propelled system of paddy field weeding machine was designed. The overall structure and working principle of self-propelled system were illustrated and analyzed. The interaction mechanism of wheel-soil during w

4. Least limiting water range in Oxisol under two conservation tillage systems in sugarcane farming
ABSTRACT The Least Limiting Water Range (LLWR) is an indicator of soil physical quality, contributing in information to propose soil management systems in agricultural farming process. This work aimed to assess the usage of LLWR and critical soil bulk density for physical-water quality evaluations, as well as its effect on sugarcane farming under no-tillage

5. Selection of ornamental peppers elite lines for ethylene-insensitive
ABSTRACT Peppers belongs to Capsicum genus and have a lot of different varieties. They can be different uses such as potted ornamental plants. Retail market for this type of pepper requires the development of a greater number of commercial cultivars with adequate ornamental characteristics as well as an extended shelf life (post-production). Ethylene exposur

6. Oxalate-rich foods
Abstract The intake of large amounts of the antinutrient oxalate can induce hyperoxaluria, an important risk factor for the development of calcium oxalate stones. The soluble and total oxalate concentrations of plants of the Fabaceae, Convolvulaceae, and Malvaceae families were determined using an HPLC-enzyme-reactor method. Sweet potato is a species of the

7. FUZZY MODELING OF THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT IRRIGATION DEPTHS ON THE RADISH CROP. PART I: PRODUCTIVITY ANALYSIS
ABSTRACT The productivity of a crop is related to the water demand inserted in its development. The measurement of water and its optimization directly influences the final costs of crop production for agricultural producers. In this sense, the objective of this study is evaluating the fuzzy modeling in estimating the productivity of the radish crop (fresh ph

8. Irrigation management based on reference evapotranspiration for pre-sprouted plantlets of sugarcane cultivars
ABSTRACT The pre-sprouted sugarcane plantlets (PSP) system aims the production of healthy and vigorous plants in reduced time, reducing the number of stalks needed for planting. Irrigation is used in all PSP system stages and water management plays an important role. Stage 1 acclimation follows the budding stage and lasts for approximately 21 days. At this s

9. Insecticidal and Acaricidal Activity of Essential Oils Rich in (E)-Nerolidol from Melaleuca leucadendra Occurring in the State of Pernambuco (Brazil) and Effects on Two Important Agricultural Pests
Essential oils from the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of Melaleuca leucadendra growing in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The effects of the oils and their major constituent were evaluated on the agricultural pests Tetranychus urticae and Plutella xylostella in different stages of develop

10. THE SUCCESS OF THE BRAZILIAN ALCOHOL PROGRAM (PROÁLCOOL) - A DECADE-BY-DECADE BRIEF HISTORY OF ETHANOL IN BRAZIL
ABSTRACT The National Alcohol Program (Proálcool) was a strategic policy of the Brazilian government to replace petroleum-based fuels with alcohol (ethanol). Based on the review, we can choose the 1960s as a start point for a leap in development. Over the 500 years of sugarcane history in Brazil, the crop enters the second decade of the 21st century with ex

12. Los desafios epistemológicos de la educación científica para el desarrollo de la agricultura en Cuba
Abstract: Currently the development of agriculture is inconceivable without the training of agricultural scientists empowered to produce, apply, transfer and improve agricultural knowledge and technologies. However, there is broad academic consensus in the world that agriculture is sustainable, economically, socially and environmentally. This demands a chang
